💍 Eternal Marriage: A Covenant That Lasts Forever

One thing that stands at the center of God's eternal plan for His children is the covenant of eternal marriage.

We live in a world filled with lies, distractions, and selfishness all carefully designed to pull us away from what matters most. Satan, the enemy of all that is good, fiercely attacks the sacred institution of marriage because he knows how central it is to God’s plan. He seeks to distort love, mock commitment, and replace divine joy with fleeting pleasures.

But while Satan works to tear down, God lifts us up.

Through faith, love, and sacred covenants, marriage becomes far more than a social agreement. It becomes something divinely beautiful and eternal. It becomes a reflection of heaven.

 

💫 What Are the Blessings of a Christ-Centered Marriage?

• The promise of being together forever, not just "till death do us part"

• Strength to withstand trials and temptations

• Unity in raising children in love and righteousness

• A shared purpose in building the Lord’s kingdom

• The companionship of the Holy Ghost in their home

• An eternal increase and joy beyond mortal comprehension

Marriage is not just a social structure. It is a sacred and eternal covenant. And like everything that matters most in life, we must prepare for it. We must go to the temple, prioritize our relationship with Jesus Christ, and never let the noise of the world drown out one of God’s greatest truths: that love can last forever when it is sealed by His power.

💔 A Story That Stays With Me

I once heard the story of an elderly couple who had been married for over 60 years. Their life had been far from easy. They had lost a child, struggled financially, and battled through health challenges. But through it all, they remained deeply committed not just to each other, but to God.

One day, they sat in a quiet sealing room in the temple, not to be sealed (they already were), but to simply sit and reflect. As they held hands, the husband whispered, “I would do it all again, every moment of pain and joy because eternity with you is worth everything.”

There was no showiness in that moment. No grand gestures. Just covenant love quiet, powerful, and everlasting. Their love had been refined through time, sacrifice, and Christ. It wasn’t perfect. But it was eternal.

💬 Words from a Prophet

President Gordon B. Hinckley once said:
“True love is not so much a matter of romance as it is a matter of anxious concern for the well-being of one’s companion.”

This kind of love—unselfish, enduring, rooted in Christ—is what eternal marriage is made of.

So believe in marriage. Not just in the idea of it, but in the divine truth of it.

Prepare for the temple. Date with purpose. Marry with faith. And always keep nurturing your covenant and love daily.Make your partner fall in love with you every waking moment.

God has given us the incredible gift of eternal companionship not just to get through this life, but to grow into something gloriously eternal in the next. Don’t let the world convince you to settle for less.
